Grandma and Grandpa's

So here are pictures of the trip to Utah, finally! It has taken me (Lindsey) forever to get them put together. I'm a little embarrassed that it took me so long, I don't know how people do it, especially when they have other things to do everyday.
The trip started out in Springville at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a blast playing with toys and outside on the new swing set. We made chocolate covered pretzels and had picnics outside. Zak and Makelle had fun playing with their buddy Logan.
One day we went swimming at Emily's pool. We were there forever and the kids were so cute and big. They had races and Makelle and Lantz both practiced their diving. Zak and Makelle even helped Logan learn how to swim under water.

Before heading to Monroe, we went up Payson Canyon to the Grotto with LaDonna and some of the cousins. LaDonna took all of the pictures and the older boys took off, so they aren't in any of the pictures!. It was a good and easy hike up to a really pretty waterfall. The kiddos did great and hiked up most of it themselves. We had a great time playing in the water at the bottom of the waterfall. We even went close to the waterfall so we could touch the water.
Lantz loved collecting the rocks, and didn't care that his rear end was soaked by the end!
Makelle collected the prettiest rocks and didn't want to smile for any pictures, so we had to trick her into it!
Zak is getting too big and did everything by himself. He loved playing with Kimberlyn all day.

I love this picture of the kiddos, so I had to put it on by itself!

The hike had a few creek crossings and steep parts that made the hike a lot more exciting.
My family had so much fun while John's family was here. We miss them tons and wish they didn't live so far away. It was great to have the whole family together and I wish it happened more often.
